keep frozen

Freezer storage directive

Keep frozen is an instruction on food packaging indicating the product must remain in a freezer to stay safe or maintain quality.

Unlike items that should be refrigerated, products marked keep frozen will spoil, lose texture, or become unsafe if allowed to thaw: The ice cream carton says keep frozen.
